Radically better smarphones may be possible using system inspired by bird migration: Molecular chains hypersensitive to magnetic fields

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Researchers have for the first time created perfect one-dimensional molecular wires of which the electrical conductivity can almost entirely be suppressed by a weak magnetic field at room temperature. The underlying mechanism is possibly closely related to the biological compass used by some migratory birds. This spectacular discovery may lead to radically new magnetic field sensors, for smartphones for example.
